NEW DEMO! - largely based on the amazing feedback we've gotten from Itch.io players. Thank you so much, and keep it coming. <3

Wishlist on Steam to follow along if you'd like the full version! This helps us be visible.

This new version of our free demo contains the first six levels of PlinkIdle, rebalanced and polished for a more satisfying experience. (The rest of the game is still very much under construction) We've added Stage Buffs and would love to hear what you think!

PLINKIDLE

Drop the ball. Upgrade your world. Watch the chaos unfold.

Welcome to PlinkIdle, a retro-inspired pixel-art idle game where every drop has a chance to spark a cascade of surprises. Balls fall into buckets, pegs light up with upgrades, rare coins appear out of nowhere, and before you know it, the screen is alive with glowing buffs and floating coins. It’s simple to start, and endlessly rewarding.

A Classic Game of Chance, Reimagined

Watch as balls bounce through colorful pegboards into waiting buckets below, hoping they'll land in the max bucket. But PlinkIdle isn't just a game of luck; you can upgrade pegs, buckets, and balls to crank up the chaos and turn every drop into progress. Boost your drop rate, multiply your rewards, and transform your playfield into a storm of floating coins and falling balls.

Rare balls add another twist: watch them multiply against everything they touch for maximum coins. Keep an eye out for gold coins and other rare spawns that appear in real time, giving you reasons to stay engaged while the auto-ball keeps things moving in the background.

Adventure Through Themed Stages

Each stage is its own little world, from cozy fields under gentle rain, to glowing underground caverns, bright seas, and even outer space. Every stage has tiers to complete; finish them to unlock new layers of gameplay, fresh challenges, and greater rewards.

On top of that, each stage includes a wheel to spin. Every spin brings a new buff, and those buffs stack and grow as you push further, creating a satisfying sense of permanent progression.

Achievements and Progression

Track your journey with a full achievement system. Whether it’s tracking rare collisions or maxing out a stage, there’s always something to aim for. PlinkIdle is built around the joy of seeing numbers go up, one drop at a time.

Cozy Chaos Meets Idle Play

Want to play actively? Chase rare spawns and hold down that drop button for maximum momentum.

Want to relax? Sit back and let the auto-drop do its thing while you enjoy the ASMR of falling balls.

It’s the perfect mix of chaotic energy and cozy vibes, engaging when you want to focus, and soothing when you want to drift.
